That Dragon, Cancer – Joel Green Immortalized with Beauty

The game created to memorialize Joel Green, That Dragon, Cancer, has successfully surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $85,000 with a total of $104,491. Joel’s father and game developer, Ryan Green created the game to inspire hope, love and to raise a voice for those fighting cancer. Joel Green passed away March 13th of 2014.

That Dragon, Cancer is a point n’ click style adventure game that poetically tells Joel’s story by unlocking memories and dialog through in-game interaction. It will be released via Ouya and on Steam for Windows and Mac.

From all of us here at Indie Game Riot, we wish this game to touch many gamers’ lives positively and the best for the Green family.
